SMART Project

What SMART Project does

SMART Project is a private Polish business consulting firm headquartered in Poznań, operating as SMART PROJECT Rokicki Śliwka Spółka Komandytowo-Akcyjna. Founded around 2017 and employing 51-100 people, the firm delivers operational excellence, process optimization, and supply chain transformation services to large Polish enterprises and fast-growing companies across retail, logistics, FMCG, chemicals, and electronics retail. Its service portfolio is organized into practice areas covering warehouse processes (audits, WMS implementations, digital twin simulation, automation), manufacturing processes (audits, MES implementations, production digital twins), S&OP and inventory management, business process automation (including RPA), transportation and distribution network optimization, Lean management training, and interim management.

The firm's core technology stack combines consulting methodology with digital twin simulation for warehouse and production design, WMS and MES system implementations, RPA for process automation, RFID integration for supply chain tracking, and Power BI for analytics and reporting. It also markets an AI-enabled reporting product, 'Smart AI Reports.' The underlying architecture is service-led rather than product-led, with digital twin and AI features positioned as differentiators embedded within project-based engagements rather than standalone software products.

SMART Project generates revenue through professional services delivered via direct enterprise sales on a project-based consulting model. The firm engages clients through consultative selling, targeting complex transformation projects with stated ROI horizons of up to 18 months and reported productivity gains of 10-39% across warehouse, picking, and receiving processes. Its go-to-market relies on a senior consulting team (led by president Dr inż. Radosław Śliwka), enterprise references from named logos such as PEPCO, Żabka, Raben, DHL, Euro RTV AGD, Grupa Azoty, and Dr. Oetker, and content marketing via the 'SMARTnie o Biznesie' podcast, blog, and LinkedIn presence. The firm executes ~100 projects annually with a high returning-client rate, and it occasionally partners in consortium with firms such as Grant Thornton on larger engagements.
